Playing Go Fish with Freida and a deck of face cards.
Me: Ok, you have four cards in your hand. Look at them, and ask if I have one like it.
Freida: Do you have one?
Me: No, see how this card has a four on it? Say, "do you have a four?"
Freida: [measured and careful] Look, I have a four.
Me: Nonono, say "do you have a four?"
Freida: I don't want a four.
Me: Ok, what do you want to have?
Freida: A sandwich.
Me: Do you want to play the game?
Freida: Yeah, I wanna go fish.
Me: Ok, go fish. Now, do you have a two?
Freida: Hmmmmm... [pursing her lips and pushing them sideways] No, but can I find one in the fish?
Me: No, you say "go fish."
Freida: Go fish!
Me: Look at your cards. You need two cards to make a match.
Freida: Look! I have two black ones!
Me: No, no they need to have the same number or letter.
Freida: Here's a six and a six! [holds up a six and a nine]
Me: [crickets] Maybe we should do this with fish cards instead.

hahaha I can totally see her face as she looks at you! Try UNO!!
What a sweetie-pie she is! Maybe you need to wait another year or two for this game, though cards would seem to be a good one-on-one thing with her...time to break down and play dolls with her? :)
